Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions extending from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
